Casual tennis fan, but find what Andy Roddick is doing with his podcast fascinating. He’s publishing his reaction to the Wimbledon final within an hour of the ending. Tony Romo / Tim Brady level analysis but not attached to the major network (that paid for the broadcast rights). Media landscape continuing to shift to creators and owning your own distribution (albeit still on web2 platforms).

I feel for kids these days because they don't get to experience game breakthroughs like this we went from sidescrollers to Mario 64 in the span of a few years, nowadays they just get the same game repackaged over and over with new paid content

I previously thought we were moving away from screens. Now I think I was wrong and screens won’t be the interface layer, only visual. Causing and explosion of screen adoption everywhere. You’re seeing it in cars, it’s also why the emergence of cheep “Mr. Potato” card like Slate are now possible. Deep lo-fi vs deep hi-fi.

- Median Disney adult is worse than median crypto bro - 10th percentile crypto bro is much worse than the 10th percentile Disney adult (I’d also argue the real conflict is in nerds vs geeks — and how nerds/systems thinkers don’t vibe well with geeks/culture collectors https://freenortherner.com/2016/05/14/the-geeknerd-war/)

I’d encourage any programmer to read the: - random.c file in E4M - TCFormat.c file in TrueCrypt - util.cpp file in v0.1 Bitcoin Hard to come away with a different interpretation than “Oh yeah, that’s definitely Paul Le Roux code”

Excellent book. How he breaks down “consistently good” being much harder to achieve than random great nights here and there == super insightful.

I'm increasingly convinced this is true. Standardizing as much as possible makes LLMs much more effective. The only doubt I have is that there's enough Bazel open source code that's trained on. From what I understand Google's internal code LLM is not straight Gemini. https://x.com/_xjdr/status/1925224307548168699?t=34jzHHde7EWjPXzKAkulRg&s=19
